Hand Painted, One of a Kind, Silk Originals By Cyn Mc
Handcrafted in the USA

In the Fall and winter we are in full production and we list
our Scarves in our 'StarlitSkies' ETSY shop... there are a few there now...
As a life long Artist some of my most favorite Mediums are watercolor, Pen and
Ink (black and White), and Henna.
Now I am am mixing all that in the form of Silk Paintings, focusing on Scarves
and wall hangings. So Here I am going to share with you my journey along the way
as I learn, and discover new ways and techniques daily.
Everything I make is going up for sale on ETSY & ARTFIRE.com in our STARLITSKIES
shop. Or you can contact me, and we can sell it to you via pay pal, or any
credit card over the phone.
It is giving me so much joy and I feel my Life has opened up and bloomed in a
brand new way! I am so Blessed and Grateful, especially when these new creations
bring joy and Happiness to others!
Note if you call with a credit card I can give you 10% off... this avoids other
fees from the other services, and I am happy to pass some savings on to you! We
Love our Customers!

Even though it may be sold, if you love it, let
us know so we can recreate a similar one. Usually when people order I do several
so you can have a few to choose from.

This is the scarf middle.

I want to offer $38.00 Silk Scarves: A great affect on
the whole scarf, with something simple added to each end, something I
can paint and complete within 2 hours each.
Here, on Scarf #5 & 6, I was experimenting with the background
first, trying to figure out how the dyes run together, when the silk is
wet, and how fast I need to put the salt on before it dries in this
Desert Town of Las Cruces, NM, that I live in. After I finished I
thought a while about what could I put on top of these Scarves, and I
remembered I had black Gutta/resist, what we use to paint the lines
with. And I remembered how Some Tattoo flash of Roses, that are such
black and white, are black lines and just a black shading, and so I
tried it. Scarf #5, has the shading, and #6, I used no dye to shade, to
see which I liked the best, and to see if just lines is enough, is ok...
I like them both! The Black Gutta lines look a little shiny but it
softens with wear, and remember to cover with a thin cloth when ironing
with low heat... I would hand wash.

These Dragonfly's are my best so far with
orange and lime green
in the wings.
I painted and steamed it
twice to get the rich colors
in the wings!
I love it!!!! ANd it's this Image that is now the Icon for my Silk
Bussiness. ANd the Image we have taken to products on ZAZZLE.com in our
StarlitSkies Shop.

Wow, Abstract, Cubism, this one just blows my mind. And I giggle
that my Art College Education showed up in this Scarf. I am not one
for Cubism, but this scarf took on a life of its own, and I am so
AMAZED! It took over 8 hours, plus the three hours we steam the silks in
order to set the dyes. Sometimes I get a vision, or I dream of a scarf.
Sometimes I stare at the scarf until something shows up, and in this
case when I started painting Acorns and oak leaves, I kept seeing lines
accross the scarf, and spirals, and each section had its own dance of
colors bleeding into each other. Chiffon is like painting on Thick Panty
hose, and it is very see through so the colors are enhanced by what's
behind it. This is one of my favorites, and we will be making Silk Lamps
with this Style, and we have taken this image to Zazzle, and have
created so many products. They all blow me away with AWE! My Favorite is
the Coofee Mugs with a maroon coating on the inside, and on the handle.
The Fall colors POP!!!!
